Prabhupada Interact With Children from Gurukul

Moksa Laksmi Dasi :  In Bombay I used to run a gurukula for the local poor children, and we would have rip-roaring kirtans. One day Prabhupada heard our kirtan and asked, "Who is chanting?" A devotee told him, "It's the gurukula children." So the next day, I took the children to meet Prabhupada. We had a stack of pictures of Radha and Krishna that the children had done, and after we went into the room we handed Prabhupada the pictures and then sat down. Prabhupada looked through the pictures the children had done, smiled, and distributed sweets to everyone. Then he tilted his head to the side, indicating that we could go now. It was very personal. Practically these were little beggar kids, but Prabhupada took the time to have them in his room and look at their pictures. Prabhupada is so magnanimous.
